NIMBY & BANANA

NIMBY is an acronym for the phrase 'Not In My Back Yard'. 

NIMBY 是短语“Not In My Back Yard” (不在我的后院) 的首字母缩写词。


The term 'NIMBY' indicates a resident who attempts to protect a space located near their home or limit it's use by others. In particular, it refers to people who use tricks to block or hinder developments such as new roads, airstrips, mining activities or housing projects. They will exagerate the impact that the new develpment will have on their lives, build barracades, damage construction equipment or even smuggle wildlife protected by law into the afected area. NIMBYs are considered selfish people and as such they are treated with contempt. 

“NIMBY”一词表示居民试图保护其家附近的空间或限制他人使用该空间。具体而言,它指的是使用诡计来阻止或阻碍新道路、飞机跑道、采矿活动或住房项目等发展的人。他们会夸大新开发项目对他们生活的影响,修建路障,破坏建筑设备,甚至将受法律保护的野生动物偷运到受灾地区。 NIMBYs 被认为是自私的人,因此他们受到蔑视。


A similar acronym is BANANA which stands for the phrase 'Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything'. So a BANANA is an extreme form of a NIMBY that opposes everything.

一个类似的首字母缩略词是 BANANA,它代表短语“Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything” (在任何地方附近什么都不建)。因此,BANANA 是 NIMBY 的一种极端形式,它反对一切。
